New Blogpost: My WIP - Working in Pink

I have just posted a new blogpost with news about one of this year's hottest fashion colours – Aurora Pink, a gorgeous bluey-pink that works so well with two of this year's fashion trends, Ballerina & Nostalgia.

Not that you'd ever accuse me of being a slave to fashion, but I am loving this colour in the cardi I am knitting right now. To read more about the colour and to see some photos of my current WIP (Work in Progress), please click the button below.

New pattern – Somertide Placemats

The essence of summer, these placemats recall days relaxing after a stroll along the shore, gathering seashells or sitting watching the ocean waves. With colours reminiscent of white sandy beaches, coral-tinted seashells, the sea and the sky, the Somertide Placemats set the scene for a summer lunch by the pool.

​The placemats are worked using two stands of a crisp cotton/linen yarn held together and the pattern includes instructions for four different sizes of placemats together with a set of matching coasters.

Blogpost: Postcard from Kyoto - The day summer started
We have just returned from an invigorating walking holiday in Kyoto Japan and were there on the very day when summer started. When was that, you ask? Well read more here to find out!

New "Where I like to knit" photo

I have been knitting in some diverse places recently! First I was sitting on a bench in a bluebell wood, then high up on the edge of a Cornish cliff, then in a quiet churchyard with a friendly puppy investigating my knitting basket.

I am truly blessed to have a husband who enjoys spending so much time with his cameras. By the Botallack tin mine on the left, I was able to knit about 20 rows before he decided we needed to move location! It was wonderful watching the waves and enjoying the splendid scenery.
